US-based Last Energy has announced an ambitious project to install 30 microreactors in Haskell County, Texas, with the aim of providing safe and scalable nuclear energy<\/a><\/strong> to the state’s growing data centers<\/a><\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n

Where will the microreactors be located?<\/h2>\n\n

The company, which specializes in micronuclear technology, has secured control of a 200-acre site for the development of the project. According to the statement, the energy generated will be supplied through a combination of private grid and cable transmission, facilitating access to a reliable source of energy for industrial customers. <\/p>\n\n

Last Energy has already applied for connection to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) power grid<\/a><\/strong> and plans to file an Early Site Permit (ESP) application with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). <\/p>\n\n

Texas’ vision for advanced nuclear energy<\/h2>\n\n

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has backed the project, highlighting the importance of nuclear energy to the state’s growth.<\/p>\n\n

\n

Last Energy\u2019s microreactor project in Haskell County will help meet the state\u2019s growing demand for data centers. By working together with industry leaders like Last Energy, we will usher in a nuclear energy renaissance in the United States. <\/p>\nhe stated.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n

Last Energy founder and CEO Bret Kugelmass said that the increase in energy demand due to the growth of data centers makes the adoption of innovative solutions a necessity.<\/p>\n\n

\n

Nuclear power is the most efficient way to meet Texas demand, but our solution\u2014plug-and-play microreactors, designed for scalability and siting flexibility\u2014is the best way to meet it quickly.<\/p>\nhe emphasized.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n

A scalable model for the data industry<\/h2>\n\n

Texas is currently home to more than 340 data centers<\/strong> , accounting for nearly 9% of the state\u2019s total electricity consumption, with expectations for significant growth in the Dallas-Fort Worth region. Last Energy\u2019s PWR-20 modular reactor model is designed to scale with user demand, enabling flexible and efficient energy production. <\/p>\n\n

In addition, the company has already developed two full-scale prototypes in Texas and has organized technological demonstrations with industry and government. With the first fuel load scheduled for September 2026, Last Energy is positioning itself as a key player in the future of advanced nuclear energy in the United States. <\/p>\n\n

According to Reed Clay, president of the Texas Nuclear Alliance, nuclear power is the obvious solution to the state’s growing energy demand.<\/p>\n\n

\n

Texas\u2019 growing data center industry will require reliable, resilient power sources that operate 24\/7.<\/p>\nhe concluded.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n

With these developments, Texas seeks to establish itself as a benchmark in the adoption of next-generation energy solutions for the technology industry and beyond.<\/p>\n\n
